New commemorative plaques added to Salisbury's Cenotaph
They're in honour of local troops lost during World War Two
A set of new commemorative plaques have been added to Salisbury's War Memorial in the Guildhall Square.
They're in memory of the 224 local people who died fighting for the country during World War Two.
The plates join the six already on the Cenotaph, honouring the 460 locals who were killed in action in the First World War.
They've been installed in time for Remembrance services at the War Memorial next weekend (Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th November).
Turf has been laid at both sides of the War Memorial this year, ahead of the Armistice and Remembrance Sunday ceremonies.
A special dedication of the plaques will be included in this year’s Armistice Day service on Saturday 11th November.
Project Manager, Chris Hewitt said:
"Finally the men of Salisbury who died in World War 2 have the Memorial they deserve next to those who died in World War 1."
The plaques have cost £19,300, with funds raised by private donations.
